You'll never get it all done, procrastinating like that.

In other news, I'm researching User Stories for my new project Mavolio*, named after this chap. This sort of thing:

As a wish-I-could** raconteur, I'd like to entertain audiences with my wit, eloquence and erudition.

* No, Chrome, not Ravioli...
** A variant of wannabe for those who've come to terms with such things.

You could always try the raconteur act on @The Velvet Curtain and Lu, I'm sure they would be a fine audience.. They have experience in such things.Anyone with the patience to listen to Sigur Ross has the audience skills and temperament of a saint.

Just trying to work out if that is a compliment.

I have found out today, that if you are gardening while it is softly raining, you can get a lot more done.
Would anyone like to guess the two reasons why this it the case?

Washing machine packed up last week. New one turned up today. I asked our lass if she looked at the dimensions of the new machine as it is a very tight space where it goes. Nope she hadn't. Had to take a cupboard door off to get it in, but it is now in. I've told her under pain of death it isn't coming back out!

We did the same thing with our new suite last year, the three seater had to come in through the back gate and kitchen.

It is soft rain, so yes, I did water the plants that I had moved. There are two other reasons.

You don't get tempted to sit down and look at it?

Yes, partly correct, I made a hot drink and did not sit down, just did some more planning of what to do next.

Was it the amphetemines?

Ground's softer and your work's done more quickly?

My neighbours don't do gardening, so we are safe. They must think we are a bit weird having plants and stuff.

Was it the amphetemines?

No, I left the Lathyrus vernus where they were.

Ground's softer and your work's done more quickly?

Yes, partly, I struggled to dig up some plants, in between my attempts at digging them up, yes the rain did help by seeping into the gap and softening the soil.

Very nearly correct! Anyone out walking their dog, or any neighbours going out, or driving past, are not tempted to stop and talk, cos they do not want to get wet. The lady two doors down who is also a keen gardener, was indoors out of the rain. Also I was working as fast as possible to try to get as much done as I could before I got absolutely soaked. It was a soft rain, so I only got slightly damp.
